「ガンダム0080 ポケットの中の戦争」Mobile Suit Gundam 0080 War in the Pocket 第６話の涙なしには見られない名シーン、バーニィからアルへのビデオレターのセリフを英訳してみました。
その下には英語吹き替え版の「正解」も載せておきます。ううむ、やはり英語ネイティヴの英語は表現が違うなぁ……。
試訳
Al, listen to me very carefully.
This parcel contains a tape of my testimony and things to prove it.
I recorded the reason why this colony is targeted by nuclear missile on the tape as I ever know.
Please send this parcel to the police, if I would die.
This colony will be safe, if they adults believe me.
I have tried to deliver myself to the police, but I changed my mind because if I do so I’ll be coward, you know, if I give up fighting, I can’t justify myself.
I do not hate the federation nor I want to avenge of the Captain and the others.
I can’t find a word but I would like to fight with him, Gundam.
I can’t explain why. Yes, I am a soldier, but it is not all.
Al, I probably will be killed, but don’t hate Federation’s soldiers and the pilot of Gundam.
They are all the same to me, they just do that they think it’s right.
Don’t hate anyone and owe nothing yourself. It would be hard, but try.
It’s my last wish to you.
If I would be lucky and see the end of the war alive, I will come back to this colony to see you. I promise.
Well, that’s all. Seeya, Al. I hope you’ll be fine. Say hello to Chris.
英語版吹き替えのセリフ
Al, OK, listen carefully.
Inside this package, you’ll find a full tape confession and all of the evidence.
I wanted to explain just why this colony has been targeted for nuclear attack.
It’s important that if I die, then you take this to the police.
If you can get an adult to believe you, the colony can still be saved.
You’re probably wondering why I didn’t just take this by myself.
Well, you see, you have to understand it would be like running away, if I ducked out of fighting now, I don’t think I could have ever lived with myself. It’s not like I hate the Federation or anything or that I want to avenge the captain or the others.
I’m not sure how to put it. You see, I need to fight the Gundam now. Maybe it’s because I’m a soldier. I really don’t know the reason why.
Hey, Al, I’m almost likely going to die, but whatever happens, don’t hate the Gundam pilot, and don’t go hating Feddie soldiers.
Because they’re like us, you and me. They’re just people simply doing what they think is right. That is all.
I know that it’s hard, but try not to hate them, and don’t blame yourself, either, OK?
Please, Al, this is all I ask.
With luck, if I do manage to get out of this alive and the war ends, I’ll visit you. I’ll come back to this colony.
That’s a promise.
See ya, kid. Well, I guess that’s it. Take care, Al. By the way, Say hi to Chris.
